I'm going off to school next year and my parents told me that I could get a new computer before I leave. I narrowed down my search to two computers: the Dell XPS 13 and the brand-new HP Spectre XT. Which one should I get? Price is no factor, they both look like great computers but I'm not sure which one is truly better.

That looks to be a pretty close race. But the Dell XPS 13 is released and we have a review while the Spectre XT isn't yet out so we haven't a review yet. Without a hands-on, it's really hard to say how it stacks up against the Dell and other Ultrabooks.

OK, the Spectre XT's finally available for order, and now we know it uses 3rd Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs, which is a plus until Dell updates the XPS 13 with Ivy Bridge. But still, until I get my hands on the Spectre XP, I can't say if it's better or worse in other ways. The XT isn't shipping until the end of June, so our review will probably be out some time around then.
